They were discovered by Lieutenant Harry Pennell, Royal Navy, on the Terra Nova Expedition in February 1911 during Robert Falcon Scott's last expedition, and named after Dr. Edward A. Wilson, a zoologist with the expedition, who perished with Scott on the return journey from the South Pole.
Hadley Peak is a peak 2,660 metres (8,730 ft) high, surmounting the escarpment at the north edge of Ford Massif in the Thiel Mountains of Antarctica. The name was proposed by Peter Bermel and Arthur B. Ford, co-leaders of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Thiel Mountains party which surveyed these mountains in 1960–61. It was named for Jarvis B. Hadley of the USGS, then Chief of the Branch of Regional Geology in the Eastern United States and administrator of USGS geology programs in Antarctica.

Posadowsky Bay is an open embayment, located just east of the West Ice Shelf and fronting on the Davis Sea in Kaiser Wilhelm II Land. Kaiser Wilhelm II Land is the part of East Antarctica lying between Cape Penck, at 87°43'E, and Cape Filchner, at 91°54'E, and is claimed by Australia as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory. Other notable geographic features in this area include Drygalski Island, located 45 mi NNE of Cape Filchner in the Davis Sea, and Mirny Station, a Russian scientific research station.
Bon Docteur Nunatak, also known as Good Doctor Nunatak, is a small coastal nunatak, 28 metres (92 ft) high, standing at the west side of the Astrolabe Glacier Tongue, 400 m (1,300 ft) south of Rostand Island in the Geologie Archipelago of Antarctica. It was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1952–53, and named for Dr Jean Cendron, the "good doctor", medical officer and biologist with the French Antarctic Expedition, 1951–52.
Calfee Nunatak is an isolated nunatak at the east side of Reeves Neve, 4 nautical miles (7 km) west of Mount Fenton, in Victoria Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1956–62, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for David W. Calfee, field assistant at McMurdo Station, 1965–66.
Mount Cervin is a small rocky hill, 30 metres (100 ft) high, on the east side of Petrel Island in the Geologie Archipelago. It was charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for the Matterhorn, which it resembles in form.
Mount Neder is a mountain with a small, pointed summit (1,010 m) that surmounts the northwest part of Quam Heights in the Anare Mountains, Victoria Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Irving R. Neder, United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) geologist in the Ohio Range and Wisconsin Range area, 1965–66, and McMurdo Sound area, 1966–67.
Mount Degerfeldt is a mountain 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) south of Mount Storer, in the Tula Mountains in Enderby Land. It was plotted from air photos taken from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956 and 1957, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Carl Larsson Degerfeldt, a member of the crew of the Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929–31.
Gulliver Nunatak is a nunatak with a flat, ice-free summit, 575 metres (1,890 ft) high, at the north side of Adie Inlet, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) in 1947. It was named by the FIDS for the fictional character in Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, because when viewed from the southeast its appearance is suggestive of a man lying on his back with his head toward the south.
Erskine Glacier is a glacier 16 nautical miles (30 km) long on the west coast of Graham Land, flowing west into Darbel Bay to the north of Hopkins Glacier. It was first surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946–47, and named "West Gould Glacier". With East Gould Glacier it was reported to fill a transverse depression across Graham Land, but further survey in 1957 showed no close topographical alignment between the two. The name Gould has been limited to the east glacier and an entirely new name, for Angus B. Erskine, leader of the first FIDS party to travel down the glacier and to survey it in detail, has been approved for the west glacier.
Paschal Glacier is a glacier about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long and 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide, draining northwest between two ridges, the terminal points of which are Mount McCoy and Lewis Bluff. The lower end of this glacier merges with the flow of White Glacier and the larger Land Glacier near Mount McCoy before the latter feature debouches into Land Bay on the coast of Marie Byrd Land. Paschal Glacier was photographed from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, and was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1959-65. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Evans W. Paschal, Scientific Leader at Byrd Station, 1970.
MacNamara Glacier is a glacier in the Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains in Antarctica, draining northeastward between the Thomas Hills and Anderson Hills to Foundation Ice Stream. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Edlen E. MacNamara, a United States Antarctic Research Program exchange scientist at Molodezhnaya Station, winter 1967.
Mount Maguire is a large flat-topped mountain with a distinctive pointed nunatak on the east side, located 22 nautical miles (41 km) south of Cumpston Massif, Antarctica, near the head of Lambert Glacier. It was mapped from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions air photos and surveys, 1956–58, and was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Sergeant O. Maguire, RAAF, a radio technician at Mawson Station in 1958.
Tour de Pise is an isolated rock dome, 27 m, which protrudes through the ice in northwest Rostand Island in the Geologie Archipelago. It was charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for the infamous Tower of Pisa.
La Molaire is a rocky hill, 24 metres (80 ft) high, on the west side of Rostand Island in the Géologie Archipelago, Antarctica. It was charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition, and named "La Molaire" because of its appearance.
Rostand Island is a rocky island 400 m long and 200 m south-east of Petrel Island in the Geologie Archipelago of Antarctica. It was charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for Jean Rostand, noted French biologist.
